A-Rod is a Guitar Hero

Alex Rodriguez, aka A-Rod, may be under fire for his purported romantic relationship with Madonna but he is ON FIRE in this brand spankin’ new commercial for Guitar Hero: World Tour.

In the vid, A-Rod is featured alongside some of the world’s greatest in sports — Kobe Bryant, Tony Hawk and Michael Phelps. Each of the athletes pay tribute to the famous scene in Risky Business featuring Tom Cruise. Kobe rocks the mic, A-Rod and Phelps rip it up on guitar, and Tony Hawk slides in on a skateboard to play the drums.

The vid was directed by Brett Ratner, who most recently directed the music videos for Miley Cyrus‘s “7 Things” and Mariah Carey‘s “Touch My Body”.

Guitar Hero: World Tour is in stores starting this Sunday, October 26. The game features a newly redesigned guitar controller, drum kit (with cymbals!) and a mic. Siiiiiiiick!
